"One place where Senator McCain used to offer change was on immigration. He was a champion of comprehensive reform, and I admired him for it," [said] Obama....."But when he was running for his party's nomination, he walked away from that commitment. He said he wouldn't even support his own legislation if it came up for a vote.....If we are going to solve the challenges we face, we can't vacillate, we can't shift depending on our politics."

Have fun with that quote, Fellow Freepers.
One other quote caught my attention, this from the "neutral" Reuters correspondent writing the story:
"McCain, an Arizona senator, broke with his party and worked for [Comprehensive Immigration Reform], which ultimately failed in Congress amid heavy Republican opposition."
As I recall, George Bush, the leader of the Republican Party, also backed "Comprehensive Reform."
Interesting how the Demo's attack McCain for supporting Bush policies.....but no mention that Bush supported "Comprehensive Reform."
Both these a$$hats make me ill.
“As I recall, George Bush, the leader of the Republican Party, also backed “Comprehensive Reform.”
LOL, is that somehow supposed to make us feel better about it or make it ok for McCain to do the same?
Don’t laugh.
The MSM liberal spin believes McCain isn’t for amnesty and new worker programs.
Another reason why I am not happy with Pres. Bush.
The great Gumbama has spoken!
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
“...we can’t shift depending on our politics.”
...except on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, which Obama has always opposed until Thursday’s Supreme Court ruling. He is a bigger flip-flopper than John Kerry.
Yep, it’s pretty amazing this trick of speaking out of both side of the mouth.
It must be exhausting catering to the stupid voter.
HOW COULD YOU GET ANY MORE SHAMEFUL THAN OBAMA????
Obama’s speech to La Raza:
(La Raza (The Race), Largest Hispanic organization in the U.S.
Lobbies for racial preferences, bilingual education, stricter hate crimes laws, mass immigration, and amnesty for illegal aliens )
Obama said the recent Senate immigration debate “was both ugly and racist in a way we haven’t see since the struggle for civil rights.”... (!!!)
Obama told La Raza that the mass protests lately of for immigration rights of Mexicans is equal in greatness to the civil rights protest of the past! (!!!)
Omama supports La Raza’s, the “DREAM Act,” which would mandate states to offer in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens — thus providing them with benefits not available to U.S. citizens from other states.

The National Academy of Sciences has estimated that each immigrant without a high school degree will cost U.S. taxpayers, on average, $89,000 over the course of his or her lifetime.[3] This is a net cost above the value of any taxes the immi*grant will pay and does not include the cost of educating the immigrant’s children, which U.S. taxpayers would also heavily subsidize. In this way, the roughly six million legal immigrants without a high school diploma will impose a net cost of around a half-trillion dollars on U.S. taxpayers over their lifetimes
